Presenting: Tia Power Story Hour with Los Mentirosos

Tia Power Bilingual Story Hour - Local Artists Present Family Friendly Book Fun

Centro por la Justicia, known as Southwest Workers Union, is proud to present Los MENtirosos’s eminent drag king troupe who “ Pack Puro San Antonio Pride” as they continue a favorite project: offering story time performance. For September we are proud to focus on two books ‘A is for Activist’ and ‘Together’. Both are favorites among social justice parents and inspire them to teach children about speaking up and being in community. 

This is an all ages show that will take place on Saturday, September 27th at 9:30am and at 11:15. The show will last about 45 minutes. This show will be at Southwest Workers Union Patio, 1416 E. Commerce. Tickets are free. For more information please call 210.701.2212. A second spooky showing will take place on October 25th, same time, same place, more info to come. 

Dancing, Reading, Arte y Ganas are each part of the experience which begins as Artistic Director SirGio leads everyone in Joyful Movement.  Then the children can dig into their Swag Bags which contain, among other goodies, musical instruments to be used during the performance. Special Guest is dance troupe Zombie Bazaar and local organizations will be tabling.

Los MENtirosos promote body positivity, inclusion, self-awareness, the protection of Mother Earth and pride in Mexican and Indigenous cultures and languages.  Along with counting and learning shapes and colors, pronouns and the concept of gender identity are introduced.  Parents have been overwhelmingly appreciative of the sweet, simple way everything is presented.  According to founders, Nacho and SirGio, “Los MEN could not be happier with the success of our mission to awaken and cultivate strength in community by engaging our youngest family members with Dancing, Reading, Arte y Ganas”.
